Bilingualism

Proficiency in French and English is required. Knowledge of a third language is considered an asset when working with our international partners, suppliers, colleagues, and customers. In Quebec, French remains the primary working language of our company.

Here, progress isn't always easy - the scale is massive, the tasks are complex - but the impact is real.

Because when the system runs, the train moves, and the city connects - that feeling stays with you. And the legacy lasts.
